Odd...a 37-minute news block that begins with weather. ???
 
Starting with the weather apparently wasn't that odd...

10:00 Old Home Weather


"Old Home" probably refers to Old Home Bread... remember C.W. McCall's "Old Home Fill'er Up and Keep On Truckin' Cafe"? The song came from the TV spots he did for Old Home Bread>
